Building Value and Driving Profits
A Simulation Learning Experience
It’s time for you to run the business.
“Building Value and Driving Profits” lets you do just that. In just three days, you’ll gain five “years” of on-the-job experience through exploring “what if” scenarios and considering a variety of solutions to capitalize on opportunities. Best of all, you’ll learn from your mistakes without suffering real-life consequences thanks to the use of Capstone®, the best-selling business simulation in the world.
In the spirit of friendly competition, you and your management team — made up of you and others savvy enough to join you for this exceptional experience — take control of a $100 million company in a business environment that becomes increasing complex throughout the simulation. You own, direct and have responsibility for established products, and it is your job to build value in your organization in order to optimize profits across your product lines.
You will see the results of each year’s decisions in dollars, customers, market share and product. During the debrief, other teams will share why they made the decisions they did, as well as the resulting consequences, providing you with a multi-dimensional learning experience.
After each virtual year, you’ll intimately — sometimes painfully — understand and internalize how seemingly simple business decisions can cascade through organizations and markets, bringing huge successes as well as corporate catastrophes.

A special note for managers: bring your entire team...at a discount!
There are many educational approaches available to train your team on business acumen, but only classroom-based simulation can ensure that your employees internalize what they learn and that their connection to your business is made in ways that prompt action when they return to the office. Plus, a shared learning experience builds rapport and a mutual understanding of common terms and concepts covered in the course. Is any of the following happening in your department?
- Does your team make decisions based on what’s best for the organization...or only their department?
- Have your employees been referred to as “lone rangers?”
- Are your cross-functional teams simply not functioning?
- Do interdepartmental arguments arise due to the misunderstanding of conflicting priorities?
- Do you need to do more with less, broadening the experiences of your team instead of just broadening the number of people on your team?
